Upon entering the school in Year 7, all pupils are assigned to one of four Houses which they will remain in for the duration of their time at Colfe’s. The Houses are named after the four longest serving Headmasters in Colfe’s history - Beardwood, Bramley, Norton and Prendergast. From Year 7 to Year 13, pupils are involved in all manner of exciting and challenging House activities and competitions.
